This behavior should be off by default, but can be turned on via CSS or Code.<br>
Another idea could be a new Control that extends from Label.</div>

<b>Betreff:</b> Label Text Selection</div>
<div name="quoted-content">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I recently added a custom text control (called “TextView") to the GemsFX project. It supports a somewhat limited text selection. Selection is only possible on a per-word basis. I received a bit of feedback on this control and I was wondering whether it would be worth thinking about adding a general text selection capability to labels. Is this something worth looking into? Is it even feasible?<br>
<br>
I guess one of the reasons why this topic keeps popping up is the fact that users are so used to selecting any text in web pages, but they can’t do it in desktop apps.<br>
